696 & 796 are good starting bikes, bear in mind air cooled tho so different to the new water cooled and miles away to anything from japan.

FSH is a given, check it starts nice a cleanly, ask if any electrical gremlins and see if there is anything untoward on the list of service items.

With regards to mileage as long as they've been serviced and had the belts done, the air cooled engines as pretty solid.

Personally I like some tasteful extras on bikes I buy and tend to swerve bikes with tat on them. If they've went cheap with things like levers etc what else have they went cheap on.
